Chapter 47
"Master, are you going to start?"

Emi Yagyu was waiting in the backyard early in the morning, afraid of missing any details, the three of them had breakfast, Su Yuan checked the raw materials that had been dried in the shade, nodded and said: "Let's start!"

"Okay!" Xu Kui, the big black man, was already eager to try. He took off his shirt, showing his strong muscles, picked up a 20-jin sledgehammer, and came to the stove.

There are three kinds of hardships in the old trade: blacksmithing, punting, grinding tofu.The equipment of the ancient blacksmith shop is very simple: an oven, a bellows, and a confident anvil.

The furnace has a large space, and the bellows are close to the oven. It is all pushed and pulled by manpower to generate wind, increase the temperature, increase the flame, and melt the steel.

Su Yuan also took off his shirt, revealing strong lines full of streamlines, Emi Yagyu's face flushed slightly, she didn't expect the master to be so mighty, making her heart beat faster.

Picking up a small hammer weighing six to seven catties with his right hand, he picked up a piece of pig iron with iron tongs in his left hand, and began to say, "Come on, try your hand."

There are usually only two people in blacksmithing, the old blacksmith who holds the pliers and the apprentice who swings the sledgehammer. The blacksmithing process is divided into the first hand and the second hand.Until now, people often say politely, when I give you a hand, it means to be an assistant.

Rich hands-on experience, holding a small hammer in the right hand and iron tongs in the left hand. During the forging process, the first hand should constantly turn the iron material by visual inspection, so that it can beat square iron into round iron bars or thick iron bars into slender iron bars. .

Grasp the heat of the oven and use experience to observe the melting progress of the iron ore. As soon as the iron tongs clamp out the fiery red forging, the apprentice standing next to the anvil will swing the sledgehammer under the guidance of the hammer and strike the iron while it is hot.

Where the small iron hammer strikes, the apprentice's sledgehammer must also strike precisely there. It requires long-term cooperation and concerted efforts to strike a good sword embryo with uniform texture.

Jingle...jingle...jingle...

This is the first time that Su Yuan cooperated with others to forge iron. He used to be alone, and the strength of the small hammer was weak, so the density and quality of the hammer were not up to standard.

This time with the cooperation of the black-faced god, although it was only the first time to cooperate, they quickly found a tacit understanding. When the small hammer fell, the sledgehammer could strike with precision immediately. No matter the strength or reaction, it was worthy of being a master on the ground list.

After a while, the two were sweating profusely, and their strong muscles were even more shocking against the backdrop of the firelight. Emi Yagyu stared at Su Yuan's every move obsessively, her heart was agitated, this is the real man!

After more than 20 minutes, Su Yuan stopped the hammer, wiped off the sweat on his body with a towel, and said with a smile: "The cooperation is good, if you use more force, hit harder!"

"Hey, no problem, I ate a lot in the morning, so I have enough strength!" Xu Kuiweng said with a naive smile, "I used to forge the iron myself, but today the master will take it. It's refreshing!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Su Yuan turned around and took out the meteorite mine, put the pine charcoal dried in the shade of yellow mud into the stove, lit it, looked at Emi Liusheng next to him, and ordered: "Don't be idle, watch the fire with your heart , follow my instructions to control the wind."

"No problem, master please rest assured!" Emi Yagyu bowed deeply, extremely excited, it was a great honor to be able to personally assist the master in forging the sword.

Su Yuan nodded. Both of them are experienced swordsmiths, and their actual combat experience is even better than his own.However, I have the Five Elements Technique, and I can monitor the details intuitively, which is far more accurate than experience.

"start!"

Watching the pine charcoal burn more and more vigorously, the golden light gradually brightened, and finally reached the limit after half an hour.Throw the meteorite mine into the furnace, and keep an eye on the details, there is only one piece, and no mistakes are allowed.

Xu Kui also stood beside him. Watching fire is the basic skill of a swordsmith. Using experience to judge the degree of melting of iron ore through raging fire, one is a master if he seizes the most suitable time.

Emi Yagyu was dressed in a white tights, standing closest to the stove, controlling the size of the blower.The high temperature soon made her sweat profusely, her beautiful lines were uneven, slender and fit.

It's a pity that neither of the two men present was in the mood to appreciate it. They were engrossed in staring at the meteorite mine in the flames for half an hour...an hour...two hours...

"Master, I didn't expect this ugly fellow to be so heat-resistant?"

Su Yuan nodded, saw Yagyu Huimei who was clenching her teeth and persisted, and ordered: "Take a rest first, drink more water to replenish your strength."

Emi Yagyu seemed to come out of the water, her clothes were soaked and dried countless times, her pretty face was flushed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I can persevere!"

Su Yuan frowned, stepped forward and pulled her to a cool place next to him, took out a towel and water, and ordered: "Now is not the time to be brave, save your strength, it is estimated that this situation will completely melt at night."

"Burn it all day?" Xu Kui also came over, picked up a large bowl of water, drank it in a few sips, and said in surprise, "No way?"

Su Yuan motioned everyone to sit down and rest, looking at the meteorite iron in the stove, he could see that the golden light was being melted by the fire little by little, especially the impurities on the surface were getting less and less, and more golden light was gradually released.

It is worthy of being the iron from beyond the sky!
Xu Kui and Yagyu Emi looked forward to it very much. The meteorite, which was originally not amazing, could be so high temperature resistant?It proves that Su Yuan's eyesight is indeed correct, maybe it is really a top-quality material.

The three took turns to rest and kept observing the situation, especially Emi Yagyu, who was very attentive and never missed any opportunity to learn.Not only Su Yuan, but even Xu Kui's level is far superior to his own, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

From the morning until the moon shadow floated, and kept adding charcoal in the middle, it burned for more than ten hours. Su Yuan looked at the red meteorite inside and outside, and said loudly: "Get ready!"

Xu Kui took a deep breath, picked up the big hammer, and watched with all his attention that Su Yuan slowly picked out the red iron ore with the iron tongs, quickly put it on the iron felt, picked up the small hammer with his right hand, and finally hit the first blow.

Jingle...jingle...jingle...

In Su Yuan's eyes, the meteorite has been completely melted by the fire, producing a lot of black impurities, which condense on the surface. With each blow, the black slowly falls, and more golden light gradually seeps out.

"Strength!"

"Work harder!"

"Smash!"

"Smash it again!"

"Smash it hard!"

Accompanied by Su Yuan's command, Xu Kui's muscles twitched, and with all his strength, he hammered and smashed desperately, the flames splashed in all directions, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Look where you're going!"

From Su Yuan's point of view, it's more like playing a game: whack-a-mole!
Each strike made the golden light more intense, removing impurities, and finally the meteorite slowly deformed, flattened and slender, becoming the shape of a sword embryo.

Megumi Yagyu watched the blacksmithing process nervously. On the surface, it was monotonous and boring, but in fact it contained many mysteries.Strength, angle, and speed can all determine the success or failure of sword casting.

Close your eyes and listen attentively, like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, or like falling leaves and plantains in the rain, crisp and sweet, like a wonderful symphony.

Suddenly Su Yuan yelled violently: "Ready to fold!"
